PHOTOS: Michael Jordan at NASCAR events for 23XI Racing

We take a look at some photos from UNC basketball legend Michael Jordan at NASCAR events over the years.

The NASCAR circuit is staying in the state of North Carolina this week as they will descend on the Charlotte Motor Speedway for racing. And Michael Jordan is making a return to the state with the 23XI Racing team.

Jordan is a co-owner of 23XI racing which features Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick as his two main drivers. This week, the team already released a special UNC-inspired paint scheme for Reddick’s No. 45 car to race in the Coca-Cola 600.

The team opened in 2000 under manufacturer Toyota and Jordan has been involved ever since.  And we know he has a thing for cars, so it makes a lot of sense.

With racing set to begin, let’s take a look at some photos of Jordan at NASCAR events over the years.
